You can use a command line and a custom topic, I added a
topic: "lockcomputer"
cmdtxt: "rundll32.exe"
cmdparameters: "user32.dll, LockWorkStation"

Home-assistant sends the topic YOUR_TOPIC_HERE/lockcomputer and locks my computer when I leave home.

Works like a charm.

Lock is now implemented in the latest installer.
There is ways to do the unlock but only shady/unsafe solutions so it will not be implemented.
